• Brush: Stirling 24mm Synthetic
• Blade: BIC Metal (3)
• Lather: Le Père Lucien - Narcisse - Soap
• Post Shave: Pinaud - Clubman - Aftershave
• Post Shave: Goodfellow & Co. - Face Lotion - Kelp & Sea Mineral

Armed with the knowledge to expect a potentially bubbly lather, I set out with my “dry load” technique and man, great lather. I used most of the ample sample (c’mon, you’re making us envelope smushers look bad!), and had lots of dense creamy slick lather.

The scent was familiar and enjoyable. I want to say there’s a Southern Witchcrafts scent that features Narcissus (aka Daffodil, aka Jonquil), but without more research I can’t be sure. I used to live in Smyrna, GA which called themselves Jonquil City, so maybe I just know the smell from the flowers there.

Floral can be hit-or-miss, and I think this one is a hit.

FYI, all smushes of Oro Valley are in the mail. I left out @sahenders and @wtharris89 because they already have some.
